the Word Finder

what do "the thighmaster", "the terminator" and "the ginsu knife set that can cut steel and still slice a tomato" have in common? they have nothing on The Word Finder. that's right, alert readers (written in the tone of an infomercial) it was worth the wait. not only am i the proud owner of a new dictionary, but it has a built-in thesaurus. and...(pause for dramatic effect) it's a hardcover. as a wise friend says, "life is short, buy the hardcover." so your blogging wordgirl is ready and armed. more vocabulary coming your way than you might know what to do with. call it a portent, knell or presage, but either way, you've been warned.
